BRITAIN’S Next Top Model’s first transgender contestant Talulah-Eve Brown has opened up about the horror moment the person she fell for shunned her after learning her past.

The 22-year-old model - who is also the holder of the Miss Transgender Birmingham crown - met the "perfect man" on holiday to Ibiza, falling for him after she met him due to his charming personality and caring nature.

The pair had made plans to be in Germany together, and hit it off immediately – but their short-lived romance was met with anguish and a panic attack, when he made transphobic comments about the stunning brunette after finding out about her past.

A source close to Talulah-Eve exclusively told OK! Online: "Talulah-Eve had the time of her life on holiday, and to top it off met a guy that really made her happy.

And it was at that sinking moment that Talulah-Eve completely lost control of her body – and ended up having a panic attack in the middle of the airport. He then continually bombarded her with questions about sexually transmitted diseases – something she believed “wouldn’t have been asked” if she wasn’t transgender.

“She literally had a panic attack in the airport,” the source continued. “She was inconsolable. And to top it off, he revealed he had a girlfriend – and asked her if she had any STI’s he could pass on.

“She was absolutely mortified, and couldn’t believe that someone she cared about would do that.”

Speaking exclusively to OK! Online, Talulah-Eve herself said she wants to STOP the stigma once and for all.

“No-one should be judged on their past so rapidly,” she said. “It’s a sad world that people are so quick to judge.

“I shouldn’t have to lay down every aspect of my life – I’m me, now. We need to live in a world where everyone is accepted for who they are. I won’t change how I date in future, as it’s my news to tell – people should accept me for me.”
